Im needing to change the lower gaskets on my cobra intake, the ones go between the head, front and rear of the valley, and the lower intake and the one between the upper and lower. not having any trouble finding the upper to lower, their everywhere, its the lower ones i cant find. Ford has the kit for 65 bucks but i know there has to be a kit that dont cost that much.
Anyone know where i can find them?

Ask for ford explorer gaskets.

Or just ask for felpro 1250 gasket kit

on the felpro gaskets, do you guys use the quark gaskets for the front and rear lower intake seal or just use RTV silicone?

I use the cork gaskets with rtv in the corner. I've always done this even though people say not too. I did this when I installed my cobra intake 9 years ago and it's still sealed up nicely.

I've also done a few friends cars this way and they are fine.
